Wrath of a Mad God
"At this very moment, a dome of black energy is being expanded in a vale in the far north. This is not merely an invasion, but the beginning of a colonization, a process that will end with the complete annihilation of every life-form on this world."
The Darkwar rages upon Midkemia and Kelewan, bringing bleak days of destruction and despair. To save the future of both worlds, the powerful sorcerer Pug and select members of the secretive Conclave of Shadows must journey deep into the dangerous realm of the bloodthirsty Dasati, there to carry out an audacious mission that has little, if any, chance of succeeding.
In Midkemia, young warriors Tad and Zane, and their fellow soldiers, protect the Kingdom from raiders. And Pug's beloved wife, Miranda, finds herself a prisoner of the Dasati and, even more ominously, of Pug's nemesis, the evil sorcerer Leso Varen.
Salvation may come from a friend thought long dead, an unlikely ally whose remarkable powers will be sorely needed in the momentous battle to come... a final, fevered onslaught against the most malevolent agents of evil ever known.

Raymond E. Feist
In a genre where worlds are often born from maps and ancient bloodlines, Raymond E. Feist did something different—he began with a game. What started as a Dungeons & Dragons-style campaign with friends at the University of California, San Diego eventually evolved into Midkemia, a richly imagined realm that would become the backdrop for one of epic fantasy’s most enduring sagas. But it wasn’t just the magic, battles, or sprawling kingdoms that drew readers in—it was Feist’s uncanny ability to make the fate of the world hinge on the journey of a kitchen boy named Pug.

Reviews and Comments
I finished reading Wrath of a Mad God last night, so here's a small review about it. Wrath of a Mad God is a readable (and sometimes even enjoyable) fantasy book, but unfortunately it's not as good as Raymond E. Feist's earlier books (the first Midkemia books and The Empire Trilogy, which was co-written by Janny Wurts). Feist's writing style is "nice", but this book could've been a lot better. I can recommend Wrath of a Mad God to all Feist fans, because this book contains everything you can expect from Feist. I'm not sure if other readers will like this book or not, but if you don't have anything else to do, you might consider reading this book.
